What ate the rules on the whole answer in the form of a question thing? Would they count it if you answered "What's an obscure fact about Mary Shelley?" or "Haven't you ever heard of the continental divide?"

It has to be a question that would result in the answer. Your first one would work, but the other is a rhetorical question with no answer.

I'd say most people on Jeopardy know 80-90+% of the questions on there. More people should be betting huge amounts like this when they can take those odds instead of going through the usual "three people seeing who can buzz in first" lottery.
